I didn't have to  but tried to listen to it.  :rolleyes: He obviously didn't use the writers who usually do write the speeches.

Is it just me, or does anyone else think Dolly Parton looks like a meat puppet?

Yeah she admits if it wasn't for make up and surgeries she would scare the hell outta her fans!
 I like her! She is an entertainer like we never had before...

I went to check in the other day and it wasn't available, or something to that effect.  Glad to see it's still operating.   As for myself, I don't have the time to be on here like I used to, but if there's a subject I feel like contributing to, or even make a wise ass comment, I do try.

I work a long and shitty shift, and spend 3 hours of my day driving to and from the place I work the shitty shift at. I'm lucky I have time for a bowel movement and the paperwork it requires. . . But I do drop in as often as I can. . .

  When man has a shitty job and they are down and sick of the shitty job.  There is no better time to go look for a new good job.   :wink:  :biggrin: It seems to be a fact that if you have a job it is easier to find another.  :yes: It's something to think about.  They are hiring at the axle plant in Anderson and surly they might need some supervisors.  Hummmmmmm?

  I remember when I started working I was working for Brockway Glass Co. in Lapel. Had a good job as a ware tester.  They had a summer slow down and I was told I had to be a all-jack loading boxes on skids to be put on trucks, for two weeks for shipment (shitty job).  I told my Superintendent I didn't want to do that and if I could find a job I would quit.  He said, you aren't going to quit. Next morning I went to Ford Motor co in Indianapolis and was hired on the spot.  I called when I got back to Lapel and I said. "Harry, I quit, I got a job at Ford."  Worked for Ford 38 years.  I got to retire at 59 and I have been retired from Ford 22 years and they haven't missed one retirement check.   :biggrin:  :biggrin:  :biggrin:

Yeah, I agree. Problem is supervisory pay in Madison County and the surrounding (collar) counties is severely depressed. At least 40% less than I made as a sup 13 years ago. I am working as a Pharmacy Operations Manager and the job itself is great. The hours are shitty, the commute is shitty, and I have no life because of that. But, I am making a lot better compensation compared to similar positions in Madison County and the collar counties. Which is why I keep working shitty hours. . .

With a little luck and perseverance, I will only need 5-7 years more before I can flip them all the bird and join you in the land of retirement.

But I remain on the lookout for something a lot closer to home and with similar or better compensation levels. In which case I may work a while longer if I ever find such a position. (I'm not holding my breath) .

I fear the days of finding a better job as quickly and easily as you did are in the past. There was a time when I was able to do that very same thing with great success, but subsequent acquisitions, mergers, or closings made me have to find other employment; which like you I was able to do easily. Not so easy to do these days. . . In at will and right to work states anyway.
